Troy Mix Featured on Good Morning Wilmington

​Troy Mix, policy scientist and associate director of the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) appeared on Good Morning Wilmington on June 26 to discuss the Move2Delaware Initiative. The conversation focused on plans to position Delaware as the leading state to attract and retain new talent while boosting the economic and social foundation of communities statewide. This initiative is being sponsored in partnership with the Pete DuPont Freedom Foundation and was selected as one of the 2023 Reinventing Delaware Finalist Ideas. The Move2Delaware idea is led by Mix, Linda Parkowski, executive director of the Kent Economic Partnership; Shelly Cecchett, executive director of the Greater Kent Committee; and Scott Malfitano from CSC and chair of the Delaware Workforce Development Board. The Move2Delaware initiative will benefit the state in multiple ways, including serving economic development efforts to fill in-demand jobs within targeted industries by recruiting highly qualified candidates. The team is meeting with potential partners statewide to advance a Move2Delaware pilot program that would recruit ten individuals to move into the state and contribute to the overall economy. IPA is a research and public service center in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration.​
